Varsity Choir is an auditioned mixed choir that performs advanced SATB literature, both a cappella and accompanied, of many different musical styles and historical periods. Frequent assessment of individual vocal skills, and demonstration and application of advanced musical concepts are made during the class by the instructor. Advanced tone production, individual as well as group musicianship, and choral techniques are stressed. The Varsity Choir performs frequently in the school and in the community with mandatory attendance/ participation expected for performances. Additional concert activities are scheduled during the school year such as exchange concerts. Students are encouraged to audition for the IMEA Illinois All-State Chorus in the fall, the musical, and Solo/Ensemble Festival in the spring as enhancements to their musical development.
